Hi. I am really keen on the optima phev but have received some vague answers when asking kia about roof bars and tow bar. Does anyone have any experience on this? Been advised Cruz offer bars to fit. And tow bar should be ok. Uk spec provides no limits but EU one does....?!

  6. Kia UVO App with 2020 EVs

    General Kia EV Discussion

On my car Soul EV 2020 it only works if you use the UVO app to lock the car. If you use the key fob to lock the car your partner cannot use the app on their phone...
